Please see problem report and submitted patches https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?108987
It would be great if these could be included in the upcoming release.

Currently, and since many years, pkgsrc has patched libtool to simply 'unset' CP, MV & RM

This patchset 'fixes' the use as documented, that is to respect the environment if these variables
are set, but naturally -- if set -- they will be just the path to the tool and as such can in no
way expect that '-f' is specified (which is '--force' under the Gnu flavours of these tools).
